All On Our Dime: Obama-Pelosi

Democrats are the national barometer of morality and all that is right with America. They know how to share their toys and know how to avoid confrontations—they never actually fight, they confront, but they always try to avoid confronting, like Charlie Rangel avoids paying taxes. It is the Democrats who are going to save us from ourselves; save us from our greed; and they will do this by spreading the wealth, because if there’s one thing they know, it’s money and sharing, as long as it isn’t theirs.

Nancy Pelosi is a great Democrat. She knows how to share the wealth, or more specifically, our wealth. She does it by sharing it with her family and friends—taking them on US Air Force jets and flying them to faraway, exotic places. Nancy also likes to party hearty when she flies. In a two year period she used Air Force jets to fly 31 different times and spent $2,100,429.59 in taxpayer’s money. But let’s remember that this apparently large sum of money also includes what she spent on food and drinks, $101,429.00 so it isn’t all that bad, now is it?

About to give Weiner the finger

On one trip that went from May 15th to May 20th, 2008 she and her good friends flew from Washington D.C. to Baghdad by way of Tel Aviv. Taxpayers forked out a mere $17,931.00 per hour for an assortment of booze which included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E & J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewar’s scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer, along with several bottles of wine. Now you know why she acted so funny as Majority Leader—she was bombed out of her gourd and on our dime.

It’s like Obama said, “After a decade of profligacy, the American people are tired of politicians who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk when it comes to fiscal responsibility. It’s easy to get up in front of the cameras and rant about exploding deficits. What’s hard is getting deficits under control—but that’s what we must do.” And if there’s one thing Obama knows, probably better than any other US president, is how to spend other people’s money.

I think his wife, Michelle, was doing the dishes when he made that speech about fiscal responsibility because she sure didn’t hear it. (I’m just kidding—Michelle doesn’t do the dishes, her hired help does the dishes. She knows Barack was not referring to her or him in the speech.) While the lamestream media complained about the extravagance of Laura Bush when she was First Lady, Michelle Obama spent $700,000 more for her First Lady staff of 26—a total of $1.75 million. That kind of money would feed a South African village that she is so fond of visiting when she isn’t visiting Paris on our dime. And a woman who the press got wet over during the campaign for wearing J. Crew outfits, began wearing Naeem Khan dresses and $5,000 earrings by Bochic.

But the middle class has gotten poorer while Barack has gotten richer, along with some of his friends, and he pretends to know what he’s doing with the economy. He has no clue, but if he did, that would be seditious.
